the obama administration, one of the top priorities was family unity. we did everything we could to eliminate the separation of families and even paroled parents back into the united states so they could be reunited with their children. it's true the obama administration built up the centers as the crisis came forward. but the idea there was to build safe centers where the families could be housed together. the idea that the obama administration separated families is false. >> we've seen the documentation now the trump family separation policy was meant to be a deterrent. i want to cover one other issue here. jake tapper had a fascinating interview with mike pence over the weekend. they were discussing these reports and we've heard trump administration lawyers argue that these families and kids detained at the border don't necessarily need toothbrushes or toothpaste or blankets. and there have been reported from people who have seen them that the conditions are deplorable. jake, addressed this with the vice president or tried to. listen. >> no american

but this idea of safe zones is something that obama administration would not work. another interesting part of this statement is that the two leaders agreed on the importance of rigorously enforcing the joint comprehensive plan of action with iran. that is the iran nuclear deal. the very same deal that president trump said he did not like. said he would consider pulling out of. so, the interesting to hear a reaftr reaffirmation. one more thing, it says the two leaders agreed to additional steps to strengthen bilateral, economic and energy cooperation. so, pretty substantive statement from what sounds like a substantive phone call with the saudi king. >> thank you so much. at the white house. appreciate it. >>> as we continue to monitor protests and marches across the u.s., a lot of confusion and anxiety inside american airports. at least 109 people were detained at u.s. customs after trump signed this executive order. but after federal judges in several cities granted an emergency stay for citizens subject to the ban, some were released, many still await their fate.
